HLWIKI International is an online encyclopedic source of information about health libraries, social media and information technology topics. The wiki is used by information professionals and health professionals around the world. HLWIKI has grown to ~1100 topics, and as of October 2016, more than 17+ million page views. An advisory team of medical librarians has recommended that portals be created to aggregate and group content along themes. As the wiki grows, the plan is to provide better subject access to entries and metadata, and to draw distinctions between material. This wiki is open to suggestions and additional members so please contact the wiki administrator.
